> And he’s right, big guys can do it as easily as anyone else. The biggest thing is working on your flexibility/dexterity. Also not trying to be ‘the man’ which can lead to sucky injuries. See my above post…had my shoulder dislocated because I thought I was a tough guy…found out I’m just an idiot. 🙂

You go into any boxing or mma gym with that kinda attitude you’ll get straightened out real quick if you don’t have natural talent. Every single person that has come into our gym with that kind of attitude has done 1 of 2 things; either never come back because someone smashed him in 10 seconds or they changed their attitude and came back ready to learn.
